GitLab (self-hosted)
===

**Note:** *This guide was written before the renaming. Just replace `HackMD` with `CodiMD` in your mind :smile: thanks!*

1. Sign in to your GitLab
2. Navigate to the application management page at `https://your.gitlab.domain/admin/applications` (admin permissions required)
3. Click **New application** to create a new application and fill out the registration form:

![New GitLab application](../../images/auth/gitlab-new-application.png)

4. Click **Submit**
5. In the list of applications select **HackMD**. Leave that site open to copy the application ID and secret in the next step.
